Windjammers 2 Sammy Ho Jordi Costa

Publisher and developer Dotemu today unveiled the latest characters for Windjammers 2, the all-new Sammy Ho and returning contender Jordi Costa.

Sammy Ho is “a gardener and budding star athlete hailing from China.” He has mid-range agility and powerful throws, along with his special move that channels a dragon’s energy for blistering shots on goal. As for Jordi Costa, he brings his court-crossing slides and mighty strength back into the action.

Here’s some additional information about Windjammers 2:

April O’Neil will be playable in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. That’s news was just shared in a brand new trailer, which debuted at Gamescom: Opening Night Live.

Dotemu notes that “April unleashes flurries of hits against the Foot Clan’s devious soldiers. Her agility and far-reaching slide kicks help her close in on targets quickly, and she once again proves the turtles can rely on her unwavering support, even through slices of pizza.”

Here’s a look at today’s trailer:

Another Switch title has been confirmed for Gamescom: Opening Night Live. According to host Geoff Keighley, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will be present with “an announcement and world premiere new look”.
